REAL ESTATE BUYERS

We have the expertise and years of experience that come with handling thousands of real estate transactions, large and small, for people just like you. We can help you successfully complete your residential real estate transaction with minimal hassle and stress.

Our job is to ensure that all the required documents are in good order and properly completed and filed to avoid unnecessary delays and added expense. We’re here to protect your rights and help you avoid future problems that can arise from a poorly drafted purchase and sale agreement; incomplete paperwork; and any state, federal, and local regulatory compliance issues. We make ourselves available when you need us. And to ensure that everything goes smoothly, we communicate with our clients clearly and often to keep them informed.

  • You must bring a valid government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, and a certified or personal check for the funds needed for settlement (see Do I need to have certified funds or a certified check? for an explanation of our settlement funds policy). In addition to these items, you may want to bring copies of other useful documents, such as your Agreement of Sale, including addendums or modifications, your home-inspection report and any disclosures or supporting documents that you have received from your mortgage lender. While it is not necessary to bring these documents, they may be useful, if a question, concern or problem arises at the settlement.

  • If the amount you need for settlement is more than $10,000.00 you will need a certified check or a cashier’s check (or you may wire transfer the funds to our office prior to your settlement – please do not wire funds to our office without first speaking to the assigned paralegal or attorney). If the amount you need is less than $10,000.00, you may write a personal check.

  • The attorney’s office provides a number of services. Some of the most important are the following: (a) work with the lender to prepare the buyer’s settlement statement and prepare the seller’s settlement statement; (b) prepare the deed which will transfer ownership to the buyer; (c) order a survey and title search for the property; (d) obtain title insurance for the property; {e) payoff existing liens and/or judgments; (f) help resolve problems.

  • Title insurance protects both the Lender and the owner of the property from any claims made with regard to the title for the property.

  • One of the most important things you can do is fill out the buyer’s information sheet that you receive from our office and return it to us as soon as possible. Providing any necessary information to your lender, real estate agent or the attorney’s office in a prompt manner will go a long way in making the settlement process go as smooth as possible.

  • Yes. Contact our office prior to settlement and we will give you the necessary wiring instructions.  We do not accept or send any wiring information via email.
